A great game has been developed for the PS5

earthpressnews

In 2021, the shooter Returnal was released as one of the first exclusive titles for PS5 and thrilled players. Now it is available for the first time as part of PS+ Extra for a subscription instead of the full price of €80.

What kind of game is this? Returnal is a third-person shooter with roguelike elements. The developer behind it is Housemarque and Climax Studios. The publisher is Sony Interactive Entertainment or PlayStation Publishing. The game was released on April 30, 2021 as one of the first exclusive titles for the PS5. On February 15, 2023, Sony brought the game to the PC via Steam and the Epic Game Store.

In the game you take on the role of Selene, who is stranded on an alien planet. Of course, Selene wants to escape the predicament, but that’s exactly the point: there is no escape and she will fail again and again. But with every failed escape attempt, the planet and your equipment change. So no run is like the last.

You can get your own impression of Returnal in the trailer for the PC release:

How is the game received? Returnal is a very well rated game all around. The game now has 11,988 reviews on the PlayStation Store. 86% of them gave Selene’s horror trip either five or four stars.

The reviews on Steam are also positive: While the recent 125 reviews are only mostly positive, the game is still very positive with all 4,263 reviews.

It looks similar on Metacritic: The total of 126 reviews from critics result in a Metascore of 86. The user score is calculated from a total of 4,156 reviews and is 7.4.

How do you get Returnal cheaper? The game is still available at full price on the PlayStation Store. This is €79.99. But if you take out a subscription to PlayStation Plus Extra now, you can play the game for free.
